    At 52 years old, Len Guchardi has been the block once or twice.  This long-time runner looks at where running has been and marvels at where it is going. He tells iRun, “I consider myself a middle-age road and trail runner with lots of miles behind me and even more important, lots of good miles ahead of me.” Guchardi promises to offer perspectives to “the young runner, young at heart runner, and anyone who would be willing to listen to the sage advice of your average experienced – and sometimes grumpy – older runner.”

    A runner for just over four years, Karen has already completed a marathon, two half marathons and a variety of 5k and 10k races. She describes her first marathon - the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon last September - as "a nightmare." However, she met a very interesting person in the process - a man named Sydney who was running his 152nd marathon! Although the race didn't go as well as planned for Karen or Sydney, he showed her that no matter how experienced a runner you are, you can still have a bad day. "Does that mean we shouldn't bother to prepare, or maybe just shouldn't bother at all? Of course not!" says Karen. "In the end, it is what we make it." We like her optimism!
